I found Larrys car John Karvonen in Michigan has it. His car is definetly the car was bought in fall of 70 at a dealer in Chicago area and is a Brigance car

Wow That’s awesome someone remembers the black copo. I know the history from the fall of 70 until I purchased it . The first owner only had it for a year. The second owner for around five years and third until 2015. So I am the fourth owner.

When Jack ordered the double COPOs he had no intention of putting stripes and badges on them. He only did it because Don and Jack got in a argument when Don found out he ordered them and he agreed he would pay for stripes and emblems. Some cars were not striped but all seem to have the emblems but in a different placement of regular Yenkos

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the story was that Yenko shipped some YSC Camaros from Cannonsburg, but failed to remove the shipper. Someone at Douglass found it and figured out Yenko was no longer building Super Cars, but buying COPOs and just adding stripes/badges. Douglass ordered some COPOs and then ordered a bunch of stripes and badges through Yenko's performance catalog. Don found out and jumped in his private plane for a nose to nose with Jack. I thought that was when they agreed to a royalty payment to Yenko for Douglass-built Yenkos.

On a side note,were Dons sYc emblems & stripes available over the counter to the public from Dons Dealership back then?
If so,what would prevent a guy from say buying a Copo through BERGER in Michigan,then ordering & applying Dons sYc emblems & stripes on it?
Would Don want a nose to nose with that guy?

You are right until you said he wanted to sell them as Yenkos he was going to sell them as copos but since he had a deal with Don to sell his Yenkos thats were the problem was. Then Don and Jack made a deal were he would purchase stipes and emblems and sell them as Yenkos.

Correct.

Thanks for the clarification. So per the greement with Yenko, all Jack Douglass COPOs were sold as Yenkos. Wonder if he lived up to the agreement.

It looks like all had the emblems not all had stripes. I think they were delivered with the D90 stripe so he had to repaint the fenders to put the stripes on.
